I've considered it, but Wordpress' licensing made it incompatible with my business goals.

Wordpress is GPL, and like Drupal and Joomla they're explicitly clear that anything that runs in the same PHP process as their framework is considered "derivative work" under the GPL. Accordingly, all plugins and even themes can only be released under GPL.

https://wordpress.org/about/license/

If you're interested in sharing source, LC's Community Edition allows you to deploy under the same GPL license.

Since I never looked beyond the licensing, I'm not sure if the WP framework supports integration with any languages other than PHP.

Running non-WP portions of a domain alongside WP should be relatively easy if the WP part is kept within a specific folder. It may even be possible in other configurations if you're up for a deep dive into WP's .htaccess, but last time I look at it I lost interest pretty quickly.
